My name is Milan Haddad! I am a VA Comp Art 1 art student at McClure Middle school. I share with you an appreciation for art and the few things in this dying world that are still beautiful and untouched by the ugliness that surrounds us today. I strive to reflect this in my work through an advanced level of visual expression.

I'll be straightforward and admit that I have a rather cynical view of the world. I am not the most optimistic person in the world, nor am I the most pessimistic person in the world. I guess "realism" would be a nicer word for it. But, yes, I am very cynical. I don't have as much faith in the world, much less humanity, as most other people do and I am naturally doubtful of pretty much everything. Actually, I've started to see this seep into my artwork, lately. Should I be concerned? I don't know. Probably not, though. One of my most favorite quotes by one of my most favorite artists (musicians) is, "Anything can be art. Anything can be self-expression. Now you take the weapon. And run with it." It's art. Art is whatever you want to make it. It is a weapon, and a powerful one. Art is creation, and you can create whatever you want as long as it matter to you and as long as it means something to you. This is what I think about with my artwork. I ask myself, "What does this mean to me?," and if I can answer that question in any way, shape, or form, then it is my art and it means everything to me and that's all that matters.
